Hello, here is my first entry for the new challenge Quotes & Lyrics hosted by The Craft Barn.
Last year I enjoyed entering the Alpha challenges without missing any letters so plan to take part in 2014.
This year we are on the theme quotes and lyrics. I have chosen an mdf book to use throughout the year and I have added some chipboard pages. To kick off we have been given SMILE and either or UP. My word is smile, using the lyrics from my favourite film, ANNIE. A smile can lift up anyone's day, it's good to smile, so don't forget to SMILE.
